Had a ped cuss at me this evening. I was on a small lane with a lot of pedestrians (20+). A car was backing out onto the lane to come toward me, and the sun was bright, low and behind me. The car had halted half-way out onto the road due to seeing my led blinkie. A blind guy was walking toward the car from behind, going the same way.

The pedestrian who cursed at me was going same direction as me and was on my right up on the kerb. He had gone wide around the car up onto the kerb, but stepped back and left down into the road just as I zoomed wide past the blind dude who was on my left giving him tonnes of room.

The guy cursing at me had heard nothing but suddenly saw me "shoot" past him from nowhere about 10mph. If he'd been moving much quicker maybe I would have hit him, but as it was, there was about 3 foot in it. I think I caused brownage. I felt a bit bad for scaring him, but really he shouldn't use such bad language

FWIW, I felt safer in overcast pouring rain yesterday than in this evening's extremely low and bright sunshine.
